The Brandon Peters ShowSummer of 2015 at 10: “Good For You” by Selena Gomez with Greg McGoon
The Summer of 2015 at 10 Music Video Companion series will post every Friday, featuring a discussion of a music video from a song featured in the Ryan Seacrest American Top 40.
Greg McGoon is back and we are talking Selena Gomez as she shifts her persona to a more personal side with “Good For You”. We discuss how her approach to showcasing her sexuality differs from that of her peers and predecessors with a more mature, elegant approach and the benefits of the music because of that.

We kick off 2015 with the big soundtrack song from a movie that released the month before summer started but would have a big presence on the countdown all summer long. It’s Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth with the Furious 7 song “See You Again” that served as a tribute to the late Paul Walker. Greg McGoon is here to discuss the song, the moment and Furious 7!

2025-04-282h 08The Brandon Peters ShowJennifer’s Body with Greg McGoon
I thought this would be a funny connecting episode to last week. When Greg and I were talking about a topic for the episode he wound up randomly mentioning Jennifer’s Body and I KNEW that was the one, having just done “the Juno movie” The Wizard of Gore.
Diablo Cody’s follow-up to Juno is one of the most tried and true cult classics of the 2000s. The term cult classic gets thrown out pretty abusively to the myopic terminally online folks, but Jennifer’s Body fits it. Critical failure? Check. Box office failure? Check. Zero recognitio...

For this year’s spooky retro we are talking Terrifier. I couldn’t help myself. I became a huge fan of the Art the Clown exploits with 2022’s Terrifier 2 and one of my most hyped/anticipated films of 2024 is its follow up Terrifier 3.
I realize these aren’t for everyone, but I’ve been chomping at the bit to discuss them SOMEWHERE, so why not on my show. Greg McGoon is back, as he is also a big fan of the Art exploits and we go on for quite some time on Terrifier 2. So if you enjoy long episo...

I’d been kicking around an idea of a Rom Com run of episodes ever since I met Greg McGoon and he became such a staple here. And I thought, why not bring this horror movie trio with Jesscia on to do some.
Originally planned as one episode, these discussions went very long, so I made each film we covered into its own episode.
We’ve come to the last stop here. Modern Romance. My pick. A deconstructive look at the genre and an almost uncomfortably honest look at jealousy. This is a film that fasc...

With the overly positive reaction to the I Know What You Did Last Summer episode last fall, we are going to continue forward with the exploration of the late 90s/early 00s Scream era of teen horror films with the Urban Legend series.
This episode includes them all – Urban Legend (1998), Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) and Urban Legends: Bloody Mary (2005). It’s sorta odd how this and the Summer series wind up paralleling one another, but there’s fun in that.

I dig a good left turn on the show. Sure, Practical Magic isn’t a horror film in October, but its story of witches and has a VERY fall feeling. Plus it’s a pretty legitimate cult classic and you know I’m always down for those.
Greg leads the charge here as he dives very deeply into the film, which hits him pretty personally. I also make a big gaffe and continue with it, mixing up my Last Summers from the previous episode where this movie came out at the same time as I Still Know What Y...

Greg McGoon is back and we talk about the song, its depths and lyrical meanings. But we also go over the era when it came out and how its been sort of misguidedly used in other media before.

Cabaret holds the distinction of taking home the most Academy Awards at a ceremony and not winning Best Picture. It won 8, including major categories like Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Cinematography but lost out to The Godfather on the grand prize. Seeing as that film is also turning 50, loads of attention is being paid to it, and rightfully so.

In lieu of my 40th Birthday this week (January 20th), I want to do something a little special for the show this week. So, I’m trying my hand at the world of podcast/YouTube game playing.
I have long desired to play Clue: The VCR Mystery Game ever since it came out back in the 80s. Unfortunately, the adults around me who played deemed me too young to do so. When I was old enough, nobody wanted to play with me. I’ve hung onto this game now for many of these 40 years, hoping that one day...

When choosing this video, I honestly forgot just how big of a phenomenon Savage Garden’s “Truly, Madly, Deeply” was. This song was EVERYWHERE in 1997-1998. The duo was pretty popular with their first hit, but this one conquered the entire planet!
Danielle Sepulveres returns to share memories of the song, where we were when it came out and of course…get a tad off topic. This song has some very interesting trivia tid bits and the video really captures a time capsule of a moment of the 1990s.

When “Two Princes” arrived, the Spin Doctors were huge. I was stunned in my research to see the album it was on went 5 times platinum. Insane to think, considering they fell off the map quickly after and became kind of a joke to people for a while after.
Also, Two Princes = Two Videos. Yes, this song had 2 music videos made for it. One fairly obviously was done when doing album promotion and the other was a much more professional one made once “Little Miss Can’t Be Wrong” hit big. Don’t worry, we are covering both.
